Devendra Shakra, the Indra (overlord) of Devs (gods)." Now, beloved of gods ! Your disciple, the ascetic named Tishyak, who was noble... and so on up to... humble; who led ascetic life for complete eight years enkindling his soul by observing a series of two day fasts. In the end he took the ultimate vow (sallekhana) of one month duration, avoiding sixty meals and embraced meditational death after doing alochana (self
criticism) and pratikraman (critical review). He has reincarnated in 41 Saudharm Dev-lok. Covered by a divine cloth (Dev-dushya) in the divine in
bed (Dev-shayaniya) in the divine hall of birth (upapat sabha) of his celestial vehicle (uimaan), he has taken instantaneous birth as a Samanik Dev (god of same status) of Devendra Shakra, the Indra (overlord) of Deus (gods) and having space occupation (avagahana) of innumerable fraction of an Angul.

The divine opulence, radiance and influence as Devendra Shakra, the Indra (overlord) of Devs (gods) has acquired, possessed and experienced,
ne divine opulence, radiance and influence has also been acquired, possessed and experienced by you, O Beloved of gods."
(Stating thus) Ascetic Agnibhuti asked Bhagavan-Bhante ! How great is the opulence (riddhi)... and so on up to... capacity of transmutation (vikurvana) of that Tishyak god ?
(Ans.] Gautam ! That Tishyak god has great opulence... and so on up to... influence. He lives reigning over four thousand Samanik Deus (gods of same status), four Agramahishis (chief queens) with their retinue,
